It could be unlocked through trade research, or it might require certain buildings at certain levels combined with crafting research.  For example the 'clues' regarding meditation maybe hinting that you need a level 20 mage tower.

For all we know there could even be some new locations that we are not aware of.  Has anyone read through all the elven faction descriptions to see if there seem to be any clues amongst those.  I seem to remember one of them is famed for its archers, perhaps they hold the secret.

No one has done all of both, but some players have confirmed that they have completed ALL of the crafting research.  Since this research is under it's own tab and completing 20 of these unlocks the racial horse, one would assume unlocking the second racial research would be tied to this tab.  

I also understand the Temple of Reason mystery has been solved, and was just looking for a world location that would link to the description of the Elven Spirit Bow.

Since the GM's have confirmed that it is unlockable, and we can safely assume that it is tied to crafting research but can also confirm that simply researching is not enough.  It would stand to reason that the secret must lay in a combination of research and a world location, especially since other mysteries involve locations around the world of Illyriad.

I have completed all crafting res, but have only recently begun on the trade techs.  Got a looong way to go for that.

I don't think enough time has passes to complete both the crafting AND the trade techs.  I'm a long way from completing them and I have been consistently researching since they were released.

Are you sure someone did ALL the new crafting and trading research? If so I say well done!

That rules out the Temple of Reason as being related to the Elven Spirit Bow. Any other elvish locations on the map?

Upon further investigation I have found this:

Your diplomatic mission from Ambrosia arrives at [295|-165] in Perrigor , and find it buzzing with debate and speculation, scientific demonstrations and learned lectures. 

They find it hard to understand most of what is said. But they suspect that clever diplomats - such as Advanced Spies - would be able to learn a lot from these philosophers and scientists. 

I have over 50 crafting recipies researched in this town, including a number of bows.

From another town with advanced spies sent and quite a few bow researches done:

Your Spies are inspired by the many debates, lectures and demonstrations in the courtyards of the Temple of Reason. Many of the ideas confirm the understandings of your own wisest people, and your diplomats enjoy the opportunity to relax here. 

They suspect that diplomats from less well educated towns than yours would learn a great deal here. But coming from such a well-schooled settlement as yours, they do not learn anything new. 

So, this may not be a location that offers any additional insight on the Elven Spirit Bow.  I am sending a seasoned commander with a retinue of Trueshots to see if they may learn anything else.

It would stand to reason that a player has to have sufficient research completed in order to be "deemed" ready to learn their special racial recipie from an outside source.  I have all manner of diplos headed to the temple, but I don't quite have all of my bow research done.  Possibly if someone who had these items researched were to delve further into this.
